Words Fail Me
Frances McKendrick
A therapist’s job is to listen, not to get involved. Unless… ‘A dark and startling tale of righteous vengeance’ VAL McDERMID ‘Complex, timely and full of compassion’ IAN RANKIN When Jane – smart, funny, fortyish – says she’s a school counsellor, people assume it’s all about exam stress. If only. Her teenage clients include Vaishali, who hates the perfect curves that draw the attention of adult men; Fraser, who cares devotedly for his mother but hurts his girlfriend by confusing real life with porn; and George, a trans boy who suffers from acute anxiety. Harbouring terrible secrets from her own youth, Jane struggles to contain the anger these stories arouse in her. It’s only when she starts counselling her colleague Kass, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse whose trauma is resurfacing, that her thoughts turn to revenge… Moving, entertaining and revelatory, Words Fail Me is a gripping page-turner, with a compelling mystery at its core and a hair-raising climax, which also shines a revealing light on contemporary adolescent agonies.
